The Voice 超級巨聲 is a Hong Kong reality show style singing competition broadcast by TVB, and also selects Hong Kong's representative to the New Talent Singing Awards International Finals.

The first season was presented by cantopop singer Prudence Liew and aired from July 19, 2009 to February 7, 2010. Wen Wang was the winner. Sammy Leung and Kristal Tin were the main presenters starting season two, which aired May 9, 2010 to September 12, 2010. Mag Lam was the winner. Season 3 premiered on August 14, 2011 following the conclusion of the talk show, Say What (吹水同鄉會).

Contestants sing one song per round of competition, which depending on the length, will be broadcast within one or two episodes. After their individual performances, a panel of judges (between four and six, depending on the round) will critique and score each contestant. During the first half of the season, the scoring structure is on a five-point scale, with the final score being the sum of the judges total. As for the latter half of the season, each judge can award up to 100 points, with the final score being the average of the judges' scores.

Depending on the round of competition, contestants are eliminated based on one of three pre-set criteria:

However, there are some rounds where no contestants are eliminated and instead they are competing for prizes.

An open audition call selects 100 contestants to enter the preliminaries of the show, which is broadcast in the first episode of the program. From there, the six judges responsible for the preliminaries each select five contestants as the final 30 to be on the show.

At the halfway point of the season, contestants eliminated during the first half had an opportunity to re-join the competition in what is called "The Resurrection Battle". During this round, the four highest scoring contestants are re-instated in the competition.

Season 1 main presenter Prudence Liew was relieved of her hosting duties as of episode 26. Liew, who is signed under the Universal Music Group label Cinepoly Records, is part of the group of cantopop singers banned from appearing on TVB programming as part of the conflict between the television station and the Hong Kong Recording Industry Alliance over song royalties. Her replacement presenter for episodes 26 to 27 was Hong Kong based Taiwanese presenter King Kong ().
